Target is to administer 15 lakh doses
With a target of administering 15 lakh doses of COVID-19 vaccines, the Health Department is set to hold the third mega vaccination camp on Sunday. A total of 20,000 booths will be set up across the State.
“We had no supply of COVID-19 vaccines in the last two days. The Chief Minister wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, and the Health Secretary contacted senior officials of the Union Health Ministry, following which we received five lakh doses yesterday,” Health Minister Ma. Subramanian said.
DMK’s Parliamentary Party Leader T.R. Baalu also met the Union Health Minister, the Minister said, adding that the State was expecting another 14 lakh doses of vaccines.
The High Court of Karnataka on Friday directed the State government to file its statement of objections on an application filed by Bangalore Turf Club Ltd. (BTC), challenging the June 6 orders passed by the government in rejecting the BTC’s applications seeking permission to conduct on-course horse races and betting during the June-August season.
